Star Network

• Star networks are one of the most common computer
  network topologies. In its simplest form, a star
  network consists of one central hub, switch or
  computer, which acts as a conduit to transmit
  messages.

Advantages- Data packs dont travel through any
unnecessary networks--. Communication between any
2 devices on the network involves at most 3
devices and 2 links. The isolation of traffic
between nodes means that heavy utilization from
one device is invisible to other devices on the
network, provided that the central hub retains
adequate capacity.

• Isolation - Each device is isolated on its own
  link. This makes it simple to isolate individual
  devices from the network by disconnecting them
  from the hub. Any non centralized failure will
  have very little effect on the network.
• Centralization - The network can simply be scaled
  or expanded by adding to the capacity of the hub
  node or by adding additional devices to the star.
  The fact that all traffic passes through the
  central hub means that the hub can easily be used
  to inspect or control traffic through the
  network.
• Simplicity - The topology is easy to understand,
  establish, and navigate. Complex routing or
  message passing protocols are generally
  unnecessary. Individual nodes can easily be added
  or removed, and fault detection is simplified, as
  each link/device can be probed individually.
• Perfomance
